Hi Fiona, I am not on AC, but from Chemo 1 I had hot flushes and also redness flares on my face especially under my eyes (like a red panda) and my chest as well. I found that the skin under my eyes got very very dry and sensitive so make sure you moisturise really well and look after your skin. It makes a world of difference - also get as much water as you can into your body - like 2-3L ! it flushes out the system and helps along the way - i have done. Myhair started to come out about day 5-6. That was the most confronting thing for me as it came out in big clumps in my hands. It's awful. I had shortish hair and decided to keep it as it came out cause it was nice to have a bit of hair around the side of my face and sticking out of the bottom of my beanie! I hope you are oK on the other side effects - it really kicks in on days 3-5 for me, I have just had round 5 this week - so i am feeling your pain this week. But it does pass! Even though right now you think it won't! xx
i am on
